Shifter Options? What is everyone using with their T56 Transmission?

[sierragrande71]

I have the opportunity to purchase a 6-spd tranny out of a '05 GTO for $700.00 bucks. I'm looking to utilize this in my '69 I'm tired of shifting gears with my original 4-spd trans. But i'm not to sure whats all needed to make this work. I'm also concerned with the shifter length and location I have buddy buckets in my truck and the original shifter comes pretty close to the center seat. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
